September, this letter written on the 10th [1848] Come, my letter, go off to McLean and Captain King. This is my [message] to you both, that is, I suggest you come about the building of a mill for me. It is up to you two to agree to my having a water mill. We have met in committee about it and that is why I write to you to hasten [the construction of it], this year. Don't delay, be quick about it, now. All the people have agreed, and so I am justified in saying to you to come here and build my mill. Don't turn a deaf ear to my voice but hear it, because it is right what I am reporting to you. That is all I have to say to you. This letter is from me, from your good friend, Watitiri, to McLeanand Captain King. This concludes it. 1848 [Note following] From Hurangi to McLean and Captain King at Otamakihi.
Hepetema, no te 10 o nga ra i tuhituhia ai tena pukapuka [1848] Nau mai ra, haere, e taku pukapuka ki a Makarini, ki a Kapene Kingi. Tenei ano taku ki a korua, ara, e mea ana ahau ki a korua kia haere mai ki te hanga i tetahi mira maku. Kei a korua te tikanga ki tetahi mira wai maku. Kua oti to matou komiti, no konei ahau i tuhituhi atu ki a korua kia hohorotia mai i tenei tau. Kaua e whakaroaina, ki[a] hohoro tonu inaianei. Kua whakaae katoa nga tangata, no konei i tika ai taku ki atu kia haere mai korua ki te hanga i taku mira. Kei turi ki toku reo engari kia rongo, no te mea he korero tika taku korero i tuhituhi atu ai ki a korua. Heoi ano aku kupu ki a [ko]rua. Naku tena pukapuka, na to korua hoa aroha, na Watitiri, ki a Makarini raua ko Kapene Kingi. Ko te mutunga tenei. 1848 [Note on following page] No Hurangi ki a Makarini raua ko Kapene Kingi kei Otamakihi.
